Food rotation

[Guest guest]

Have any of you found that rotating foods to prevent new intolerances is

necessary on SCD? My son is doing BEAUTIFULLY (we started July 4th), but I

am worried because when we removed IgG + foods a year & a half ago, he did

really well for a few months, & then (leaky gut?) he developed new

intolerances, & I felt like we were back at square one. His intolerances

show up as violence, aggression, etc. rather than gastro symptoms, and I

definitely don't want a return to that!

Thanks so much,

Is food rotation absolutly necessary, My son has such limited diet and

we have just been doing this for a bit over 3 weeks, for the first

time in his life he's eating burger and chicken patties.

Is it something I need to think about, he eats 2 eggs a day(again for

the very first time in his life, I added some steamed spinach and

carrots and made him omlets for th past two days, he has 2.5 bananas a

day, a 1 peara day, cooked peach and cooked apple popsicles, Monster

cookies minus the raisin and carrot muffin, very little gelatin and

some honey candies on a daily basis. I don't have enough food to

rotate.He's always hungry, but he's feeling a lot better, we were in

the ER every other day before the diet and he cried and tantrumed and

was very self injurious but he's doing ALOT better since we started the

diet and I don't want to rock the boat, any suggestions?

Food rotation is not part of SCD. Some families choose to do it because of food

sensitivities. You don't have to. I'm glad to hear he's doing better.

Since he's been on the diet three weeks you can be adding new foods

instead of rotaion. Rotation isn't mentioned in BTVC as necessary.

Sara, good fats give us a full feeling. Can you drizzle olive oil on his food,

or cook anything in olive oil? How about coconut oil mixed into things or

spread on cooked veggies? You could cook his eggs in it. Maybe you could try

and incorporate these in other ways also. Pearl

Thank you everyone for your help, I do cook his eggs and burgers in

lolive oil and I like to try new food, he loves fruits a lot , what
